I use Karabiner when i connect to an external monitor/keyboard. The app is very good and appreciate you taking time to develop it. It would be nice if I could quickly disable Karabiner when I'm on the go.

In the current version of the app, I have to quit the application to go back to my original key mappings and re-launch it when i connect a third party to my laptop.

There are couple way to solve your problem.

You can use <device_only> block to limited the mod to only effect the exterinal keyboard. doc here https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/xml.html.en scroll down to "Specify device"

or you can create profile and switch as needed but its a manual step. The 5th page in Karabiner app is where you setup profile. I think you can create hotkey to trigger too
